The! Superb! Victor! David! Hanson!

My current Metro reading is VDH's Ripples of Battle.

Now as much as I admire his work, one thing that has occured to me more than once is that Hanson could really use an editor who strictly limits the use of exclamation marks. They seem to come about the rate of one every two paragraphs in this book. This is really too much for something that purports to be calm, scholarly, historical analysis. It's beginning to make me twitch.

Just saying.
